Sunita Ahuja Says Govinda Tensed Her Entering Netlflix Lock Upp Kept Wife Like Flower

Ekta Kapoor’s Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa premieres on Netflix India today. The show is hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh. Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, is also a contestant on the latest season. Of late, Sunita and Govinda’s married life has been under the scanner; the couple has been rumored to have parted ways.

Talking about why she chose to participate in Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, Sunita revealed, “I decided to do Lock Upp because Ekta loves me a lot and even I love her. She is doing a film with my son, Yash, and is launching me and me together. I am playing the role of Yash’s mother for the first time. I was indeed offered many reality shows – Rise And Fall, The 50, Traitors, Alliance, but I chose Lock Upp. I have no hard feelings for any other show; I thought if I do Lock Upp, I would be taken care of properly.”

She further added, “I am not scared of anyone watching me 24/7; I am what I am. I will never change myself for anybody in the world. From this show, people will come to know what Sunita Ahuja is. I am very fit mentally and physically; I know how to handle all situations. I am not scared of tasks; I don’t lie, so I will do well. But it also depends on luck.”

Sharing if Govinda was aware of this development and how he reacted to Sunita’s participation in the show, Sunita said, “Govinda was very tensed. He said, ‘Main ne apni biwi ko phool ki tarah paala hai, usko andar kisi ne dukh de diya toh woh rone lagegi.’ (‘I have taken care of my wife like a flower; if anyone hurts her inside, she will cry’.) He was very concerned that no one should misbehave with his wife. Govinda is concerned that no one hurts me or makes me cry. He was very much concerned about why I am doing this show. But he doesn’t know that his wife is very strong, can tolerate and fight with everyone.”

Given the rumors about them, Sunita also added that she wouldn’t tolerate anyone commenting on her personal life. “This is not a family show, so I will not tolerate anyone talking about my family. Govinda is very senior, so nobody can point fingers at him. I am his wife; I can say what I want, but no third person can talk about him,” Sunita added.

It has been rumored for a long time that Sunita and Govinda are headed for divorce; while the couple has not officially commented on this, Sunita has been talking about issues between them. She even accused Govinda of infidelity. She had said in an interview, “People who gossip are all doing it on social media. They speak rubbish. We don’t have to focus on that; we have to see what’s going on in our house. Till the time Govinda’s mother was alive, he was very good. He has been good after that as well. Govinda is a good son, brother. But, as a husband, what I want.. I love going to parties, for dinners, on holiday, but he got so indulged in providing for his family, that he never enjoyed it. He is 60 but has never lived for himself.”

Before Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, Sunita was seen on Maa Hai Na with her daughter Tina. However, they had to exit the show midway due to personal reasons.
